For your paper to be delivered or how much would you be willing to pay
Does anyone still have a newspaper delivered on a daily basis?

    I have my evening paper delivered and it doesn't cost me anything. Very handy in bad weather.

    It's a service direct from the paper. They deliver it to local agents from where it's delivered.

    Because there may be an opportunity to look at starting a newspaper delivery service in my area...
    Small business etc??:)
    I have identified a gap in the market.
    I am now researching the feasibilty of this market (my post on here) which I hope people will respond to
    I have also done research in my area regarding competition (none)
    I have had no financial outlays so far..
    It is called business research before committing texranger and it is the sensible way to see if a business idea is worth persuing.

    Don't waste your time. Absolute non starter, every shop on every corner sells newspapers.

    Not everyone can get to the shops for a daily newspaper especially in rural areas. Elderly people cannot always access the internet.

    My husband still has a daily paper delivered.
    He has health problems which prevent him from making a journey to the nearest shop to buy one. He also finds difficulty accessing the news by other means (eg online) so a newspaper is ideal.

    Hope this helps your research. :)
